🙋 Emoji or emojis? What is the correct plural of emoji?
👉 In Japanese, the plural version of emoji is emoji.
In written English, Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com note that emoji and emojis are both commonly used as acceptable plurals of the word “emoji”.
While words are not given plural forms in Japanese, this may or may not be observed when borrowing a Japanese word such as emoji, to use in English.
An article about emoji pluralization in The New York Observer states that the Associated Press Stylebook “took a firm stand and opted for emojis” in March of 2013.
Mark Allen, a board member of the American Copy Editors Society, stated that “emojis is the better English plural” for emoji:
When words enter English, we usually make them play by our rules, so I think ’emojis’ has the edge,” Mr. Allen said in an email. “A corollary might be the Japanese word ‘tsunami.’ We’re more likely to speak of ‘a series of tsunamis’ rather than ‘a series of tsunami.’”
Emojipedia uses emojis as the plural of emoji for clarity.


🙋 Emoticon, smiley, emoji, what’s the difference?
👉 Emoticons and smileys are often used to describe small face-like icons available in instant message services and messaging apps.
Apps that includes emoticons and smileys are not always compatible with each, as the options and meanings available may not be the same on each platform.
Emoji is a standardised set of characters that is available on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. While the artwork for each emoji character varies by platform, the meaning of each symbol remains the same.


🙋 Can I make my own emoji?
👉 This is not possible. If you create a character on your phone or computer that looks like an emoji symbol, you can send this is an image to others, but not as an emoji which is treated like text.

🙋 Why don’t emoji designs look the same on all platforms?
👉 The appearance of each emoji varies by platform, as the artwork is specific to which fonts are included on the system.


🙋 Does my operating system support emojis?
